implantation bleeding or cause to worry?

Hi all, just joined, though like my screen name, i am cautiously optimistic. I have a 10 yr old son from a previous relationship. I've had two miscarriages with my husband. I was expecting my period day before yesterday and thought i got it- had some darker brown spotting like i normally do when i start, but it tapered off and was completely gone today. I had an OTC test at home because we are always trying, so i took that today on a whim and it was positive. I'm hoping everyone will jump in here and tell me it was implantation bleeding- everything you read tells you something different. None of the doctors around here will even do any testing on you till you've had at least 3 miscarriages- i personally think that's kind of inhumane. I have two sisters who have also had miscarriages. I am 31 and wanting to have another baby before my clock winds down pretty much consumes me. Anyone have similar experiences? I appreciate it. I keep telling myself i'm not going to get my hopes up, but it was too late as soon as that 2nd pink line popped up. Ya know?

Hi there! I had taken one of those early pregnancy tests 5 days before my missed period and it came back positive. About 3 days later, I had that light brown spotting for about a day or so and then it stopped. I panicked. My Dr tested all my levels and they were great! I am now the mom of a 16 month old boy! I hope this makes you feel better.

thanks, it does help. so far everything is good, i threw up today which i am excited about. call me crazy if you want, but i had absolutely no morning sickness the last two times so that makes me think that maybe 3rd time really is the charm!
